Crown Jewel III Features and Specifications
Presenting the Crown Jewel III and Momentum Frame I know that the Baby Lock Crown Jewel III is a finely tuned instrument, and now I can get up to 6” of extra quilting space when I pair it with the Momentum frame. The pair makes a truly moving duet. That’s because the Momentum moves in sync with me as I quilt, maintaining my quiltable area. The Crown Jewel lll’s extra throat space, along with its user-friendly features and customizable options at my fingertips, make every quilt easier to finish. For the love of sewing. Kay M. Capps Cross Author, Designer, Teacher
New Momentum Quilt Frame—Moves With You Enjoy accurate, more efficient quilting when you use the Baby Lock Momentum quilt frame. This unique frame moves with you as you quilt to give you up to six inches of extra space. The bulk of your quilt will move out of the way, making it easier to stitch continuous designs and finish your quilt. This patent-pending gliding system is only available through Baby Lock. The Momentum can be set up as a 5’ or 10’ frame, and an optional 2’ extension is available. The entire frame is made of steel tubing, and the legs are adjustable so you can always quilt comfortably on a secure surface.
LCD Display Set and easily read Stitch Control Features with the large, color LCD displays on both ends of the machine. Change settings, lighting and speed with minimal scrolling. You can set your preferred needle speed for the Manual Stitch Mode. Plus, a digital readout allows you to monitor upper thread tension settings.
18” Workspace As a longarm machine, the Crown Jewel III’s larger workspace allows you to stitch freely without worrying about limitations.
Built-In Stitch Regulator Stitching has never been smoother than with the Crown Jewel III. The Precision Stitch mode allows you to make hard pauses without interruption and regulates the selected stitch length. The Cruise Stitch regulated mode allows the needle to immediately begin stitching at the precise speed chosen while regulating your stitch length.
Back and Front Handles Effortlessly control the motion of the Crown Jewel III from either end of the machine with the comfort-grip handles. Options are right at your fingertips with push-button controls. Change the stitching speed, start and stop the Crown Jewel III, or place the needle up or down with buttons directly built into the handles.
Large “M” Class Bobbin Enjoy fewer bobbin changes with the largest bobbins available in quilting (up to 40% larger than a standard bobbin). Plus, the low bobbin estimator warns you before your bobbin runs out. And with the variable speeds on the electric bobbin winder, you can easily wind thread of different types and weights.
